The motion of hybrid nanosuspension across a wedge under the effect of convectively warmed boundary conditions is analyzed for nanoparticles of different shapes. To analyze the nanomaterial, the flow model is developed, and it makes use of the Buongiorno nanofluid model to do so. Both the basic slip mechanisms and the effective properties of the hybrid nanoliquid are accounted for the flow model. Under an influence of magnetic field, energy equation considers the effect of two distinct types of heat sources, namely, an exponentially space-dependent heat source and a linear thermal heat source. In addition, surface drag force and energy transport strength are also assessed as a function of the shape parameter of dispersed nanoadditives. The flow narrating differential equations, which explain the flow phenomena, are transformed into ordinary differential equations using the appropriate similarity variables. The influence of key factors on the flow fields is represented graphically shown and accompanied by suitable physical explanations. Further, the impact of the shape factor of scattered nanoparticles, such as Al2O3 and Cu, on the strength of energy transmission and the surface drag force is investigated and tabulated. It was found that the blade shaped nanoparticles possess higher Nusselt number (denoting rate of heat transfer) while the spherical-shaped nanoparticles possess lowest Nusselt number among other shapes of nano-sized particles. The rate of heat transfers from blade shaped nanoparticles is 60.91% more than the spherical shaped nanoparticles while from brick shaped nanoparticles is 7.91% more than the sphere-shaped nanoparticles. The present model can simulate numerically the performance of heat transfer of hybrid nanoliquid as working fluid for solar collector.
